Pamela Anderson‘s recent PETA billboard has been banned in Montreal.  According to City Commissioner Josee Rocheford:

‘I have to inform you that we, as public officials representing a municipal government, cannot endorse this image of Ms Anderson’.

‘It is not so much controversial as it goes against all principles public organisations are fighting for in the everlasting battle of equality between men and women. We therefore will not give you a permit to hold your event on Place Jacques-Cartier’

I’m not sure I’m buying that reasoning.  As far as I know (and this is from a couple of years back so I realize it may have changed) the province of Quebec was the only province in all of North America that did not have animal cruelty laws. If that is still the case I have to wonder if it relates to that because as Pamela Anderson states:

‘In a city that is known for its exotic dancing and for being progressive and edgy, how sad that a woman would be banned from using her own body in a political protest over the suffering of cows and chickens… I didn’t think that Canada would be so puritanical’

Something doesn’t make sense, right? PETA Senior Vice President Dan Mathews:

‘I think that city officials are confusing ‘sexy’ with ‘sexist‘

Do you think her ad is inappropriate?
